percy jackson (1) the lighthing Paperback – Big Book, 4 July 2013

It’s a really amazing book to read for teens and adults I’d say it’s 10+. But the plot the characters the story it’s all amazing. Bought it for my self and I am really satisfied. I’ll definitely complete the series!!

I couldn't put this book down ever since I recieved it. I'm into Greek mythology AND a I'm also a Harry Potter fan, so this book was just perfect. I have a few pages left and the second book ordered and already on the way.

Cover page slightly damaged but it’s fine since I’ll probably get it damaged myself.

👍👍

Good but there were a few marks towards the side of the pages

Ordered in the uk. Delivered to my grandson in Abu Dhabi 3 days later. No complaints. Exactly as described.

I got in a very good condition and with a fast delivery I’m so excited to start with it

Se lo pidieron a mi hija y a ella le parecio muy entretenida la lectura.

I resisted reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series when it first came out (2005) because I don’t like Greek mythology. And when the first movie came out (2010) I still resisted it, because of the mythology thing. I assumed it would be boring.I never opened The Lightning Thief until recently, when I decided to find out why this is a best seller among middle grades children’s books. If I had read the first three sentences years ago, I would have been hooked: “Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood. “If you’re reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close the book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life.”That might be the best opening in the history of literature.Percy Jackson is twelve years old. He’s been expelled from every boarding school he’s ever attended (roughly, every year), because strange things happen around him, things he always gets blamed for. At the end of sixth grade, his current school informs him that he’s not invited back for the next term. He has a tough time getting home, and when he does, his mother senses that he is in danger, and insists on taking him to a special summer camp for his own safety. Sorry if this sounds sketchy. I am skipping over a lot of details because I don’t want to spoil them for you.While at summer camp, he learns his true parentage, finds out he’s been falsely accused of a crime, and is sent on a quest to find Zeus’s missing master lightning bolt and return it to Mount Olympus. In ten days. Otherwise, war will break out among the gods.This book has it all. Weird encounters that don’t get explained until later. People who are not what they seem to be. Strange creatures. Mythological history. Danger and suspense. Friendships and betrayals. And through it all, humor.I can see most kids really enjoying The Lightning Thief. Reading it as an adult, I was on the edge of my seat. Rick Riordan keeps this novel moving along at a fast pace. His characters are multi-faceted and likeable (except for the villains, understandably), seemingly ordinary (or seemingly handicapped) kids who accomplish things that adults would find challenging and life-threatening. The Lightning Thief deserves its reputation as one of the best books for middle grades. That’s high praise from someone who does not like mythology.

O livro é bem tranquilo de ler. As palavras mais complicadas são sobre as partes dos deuses e monstros, mas nada que uma busca rápida no dicionário não resolva. Estou lendo com meus alunos e estamos adorando! O livro também é bacana pois introduz os conceitos de Mitologia Grega.

Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief is an electrifying journey into the world of Greek mythology! Rick Riordan's storytelling captivates from start to finish, weaving together humor, action, and heartwarming moments seamlessly. The characters are vividly depicted, and the modern twist on ancient myths adds a refreshing spin. Whether you're a young reader or simply young at heart, this book is a thrilling ride that will leave you eagerly reaching for the next installment. A must-read for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages!

Best Mythological book. I bought it as a whole set like buying a single book for every part(I don't know if you understood that🥲) The book quality is 💯. Worth buying for 1228 rupees (it's because I bought it as a whole set)and don't buy the whole set for 1391 . Buy it as a single book
